مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا يَرْوِي اَلنَّاسُ أَنَّ اَلصَّلاَةَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَلاَةِ اَلرَّجُلِ وَحْدَهُ بِخَمْسٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ صَلاَةً فَقَالَ« صَدَقُوا» فَقُلْتُ اَلرَّجُلاَنِ يَكُونَانِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ وَ يَقُومُ اَلرَّجُلُ عَنْ يَمِينِ اَلْإِمَامِ»

Translation

Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Umar ibn Udhaynah from Zurarah, he said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: “What do the people narrate, that prayer in congregation is better than a man’s individual prayer by twenty-five prayers?” Imam (a.s) said: “They have spoken the truth.” I asked: “Two men, are they considered a congregation?” Imam (a.s) said: “Yes, and the man stands to the right of the Imam.”
